Whew, Obama seems just a mite desperate. Instead of focusing on the issues, he is focusing on two things: John McCain and Sarah Palin. He's gone from being the "change" guy to being the "attack" guy who seems much more like the good 'ol boys than McCain does at this point.

Funnily enough, he points to McCain's experience as a strike against him, yet he chose a running mate who has been in Washington longer than John McCain. Seems a bit like a mixed message to me.

This seems very similar to the primaries when Hillary Clinton started making gains on him - out came the attacks and suddenly the Clintons (who have championed all races so fervently) were racists, she was "more of the same," she had bad judgment, etc.

Instead of trying to point out how bad John McCain is, Obama - why don't you FINALLY answer the difficult questions and tell us what you'll do for us and for our country? (Oh, and psst - as we are on our way through recession and into a potential depression, your promise to give us a tax cut WILL NOT WORK. Maybe you can sell that to the "believers," but it doesn't work to those of us who are really trying to look at what is best for our country and not just interested in electing a "historic" candidate.

I wish I had a trombone or a kazoo to answer these McCainites

Is Chris Dodd still alive?

The new buzzword "It's de-regulation, Stupid"!!

You are LYING if you posted about Obama receiving more from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. HOW STUPID CAN YOU BE TO REPEAT SOMETHING SO WRONG! Herbert Allison, Jr., CEO of Fannie Mae, was McCain's campaign advisor in 2000. He donated $2,300 to Obama, the max allowed by law. BUT ALLISON - FANNIE MAE CEO - DONATED MORE THAN $10,000 TO McCAIN'S STRAIGHT TALK PAC. Wise up, people - it's just our economic survival we're talking about here.

Grown ups, leave this blog. Here come the cry babies. Btw, I'm not talking about those who simply disagree with Obama's policies-I'm talking about the ones who cannot have a decent conversation without turning nasty.

If McCain's network in the Senate is an old boys' network, then by virtue of selecting Biden Obama's network is an older boys' network. If McCain's meeting with his network is a staff meeting, then Obama's meeting with his is an orgy.

Don't you know that AIG, Lehman Brothers, and Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac are just having a MENTAL RECESSIONS! We are just a nation of WHINERS! (According to McCAIN's economic advisor Phil Gramm).
I don't think the people at Morgan Stanley are going to be comforted by this on their way home, jobless.

"Obama blasted the changing responses McCain had this week", Boy, Obama is one to question changing responses. He was opposed to the surge, now he admits it was a success. He was for Jeremiah Wright, his "Uncle", now he has repudiated him, then there's Father Pfleger, Tony Rezko, and William Ayers. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black, no pun intended. I've checked, Obama changes positions more often than he changes underwear. That's why I've decided to vote McCain.

It is not that I don't blame Greenspan for the debacle, but he did warn that the blanket tax cuts is not the way to go. But he should have done it forcefully and should have stepped down as Fed Chairman when Bush did not listen to him.

Bottom is falling out of Mccain camp.

Finally democrats got a msg, enough of this bull crap repubs are putting out. Folks, you think Mccain was down 5 points before Palin pick...he is got news it won't be long before Barack opens a double digit lead.

McCain: The 'Ol' Boys Network'; Just Another 'Obama' Staff Meeting.

Good example: the below links show they (the good old boy liberals)said one thing then, and something totally diffirent now.

Chow, chow

OBAMA MUST MUST MUST talk about KEATING 5 scandal in an ad, in public, and talk about how mccain is IN with the fat cats, against regulation, S&L crisis, and ALL THAT BULLSHIT and LIES he is pushing on americans now.

Sarah Palin is a dumb woman, who got lucky, put her friends in high places, became governer of alaska and isnt worth the valentino someone draped on her for the RNC convention.

OBAMA and BIDEN - c'mon guys, toughen up your acts, go for the left upper hook and knock out McCain...he aint the same guy he used to be a decade ago.

Well I guess Obama would know about those old boys meeetings since he never once challenged the machine of political corruption and kickback that is notorious in Chicago but worked it like a pro.

tell the people in Chicago about the old boys network Barack.

mccain may have tried to stop it back then when he was still trying to be a maverick, but as you see it failed

and he never brought it back up because he realized he had to please the old boy network if he wanted to be president

mccain isnt about stopping naything, unless you mean troopergate, he wants that stopped and he wants to stop talking about the economy

hey, Obama's just pulling a Rove... if McCain tries to throw back on him it will be like "yeah, well, I may have seven ol' boys but um, he, he has one also..." and look, ya know, dold.

Do u guys ever thought about yourselves? This election is about us. How come John McCain fix the economy if he doesn't believe it's bad. He consistently says that economic is not bad. He is out of touch, that's true. It's not plotics, think from your mind who can better handle the economy.

Franklin Raines should be in Jail. He along with several democrates, none more than Obama where in his pocket. When you start doing the math: William Ayers, The racist Reverend Wright, the Slum Lord and felon Mike Ryzko, Franklin Raines, Chicago Thug politcs, His failure to talk about any of his drug dealing and smoking days at Columbia, His choice of Joe Biden for VP, his team playing the race card now that they are tied when they should be 12-15 points ahead. This guy has a history of poor decisions and has surrounded himself with the worst of the worst kind of people. As a Liberal you should be outraged. These are the very people fleecing all of us!!!

Contrary to poluar belief, this race is not as close as many of you think. I looked deeper into the pools and you will see a 60-40 split in polling. Where 60% of those polled are democrates and 40% republicans: CNN, MSNBC, Gallup USA, Rassmussen were nearly identical. Not not accusing them of being in the tank for Obama, I'm just pointing a fact. Off the record, most of the pollers will tell you that if the factor in the variances between dems and repubs, Statistically McCain would have around 8 point lead. When factoring in the Bradly factor, 11-12% lead for McCain. This is why the Dems are in full panic mode because they know that Obama better go into the last week of the election with at minimum a 10% point lead overall and a bettern than 7% lead in the key battle ground states. this is why his campaign is in panic mode and why the dems in general are worried.

And TRACI - Maybe you are just TOO LAZY to read the 288 PAGE BOOK where Obama lays out his economic plan. McCain supporters take their clues from the old man himself - don't check facts, lie, distort, play the race, gender, POW cards, whatever lowdown sleazy thing it takes to try to steal the election from an INTELLIGENT, ORGANIZED, candidate who UNDERSTANDS what America needs to get back on track. How anyone can believe McCain's drivel without reading his record and understanding that HE DOES NOT SUPPORT ECONOMIC MEASURES THAT WILL HELP THE MIDDLE CLASS and that his TRICKLE DOWN and opposition to regulation are EXACTLY WHAT IS BRINGING OUR ECONOMY TOPPING DOWN as we sit here.

Thank You Obama is was loosing any hope that you will put up a fight. Show us his cabinet, let them see the fact and PLease, PLease keep it more about the economy. America infrastructure will be that of a thirld world country if McSame is elected
